  "summary": "China will take the lead in fostering artificial intelligence collaboration and development among BRICS countries, according to President Xi Jinping. He proposed creating a BRICS community focused on open-source AI, supporting cooperation on the development and application of large language models, as well as seminars and training programs for member countries.\n\nThe initiative, part of Xi's \"initiative on open-source and inclusive AI\", aims to build an open ecosystem for AI. Chinese AI companies produce world-leading open-source AI models, with underlying code accessible for adaptation by users, in contrast to the closed-door approaches favoured by some US developers.\n\nXi also called for a broad, consensus-based global AI governance framework. The BRICS bloc, which includes China, Russia and India, was created in 2009 as a forum for major emerging economies seeking greater influence in institutions dominated by Western powers. A joint declaration issued by the group did not specifically endorse Xi's proposal, but called for international cooperation to increase access to AI resources and address safety, security, inclusiveness and reliability.",
